Caption: Figure 4.

Mass distributions for different coupling parameters after four time steps. Top: the total mass distribution of mergers for a = 2, b = 0 (green), a = 4, b = 0 (purple), and a = 4, b = 20 (black). Bottom: the distribution of masses of the more massive merger components. The distributions are evolved from the fiducial Salpeter distribution.
